    If memory serves I had a similar problem with my laptop before. It turned out that the touchpad was simply 'turned off' in the mouse/input devices menu under Control Panel. Have you been using it with a mouse instead? Unplugging the mouse while the laptop's switched off and then rebooting might possibly work too.

    go to control panel again , then look for mouse , then click on the Hardware tab and see if it's there , or under the "settings" tab
